I know nothing about 3 phase so I just used 120v. The only breaker change was feeding the panel at the top and feeding the right side. I am not an expert electrician so I just metered out each connection and slowly I got it fixed with no problems. Every outlet and all the lights worked...
On eBay I bought a cable that I thought was correct but turned out it fit the power-in socket (male rather than female). Rather than return the cable, I decided to rewire the inside panel of the truck so the power-in became power-out! Very simple to do. The connector I bought was standard...
From what I have been told there is no maintenance of the breather. It is not a problem unless it is busted like mine was. I think you statement "isn't bothered with" is accurate.
New breather installed... one of the cheapest parts I have put on my truck ($13)....

In the photos you can see where I did half of a red and amber lens. I now have spares!
At the Denton NC Rally a guy (Robert?) had replaced all the old lens in his marker lamps with new ones and they really helped the look of his vehicle.
I ordered all mine and replaced them today. The bases and connectors all got a good cleaning while I had the covers off.
Before and After...
It had been bugging me that the front sling guide plates on the van did not extend as they were supposed to. Today I decided to work on them. After lots of Liquid Wrench, pipe wrenching and hammering I got the two hold down pins removed and the plates extended.
Here is a diagram of where the...
